The study of (anti-)deuteron production in pp collisions has proven to be a powerful tool to investigate the formation mechanism of loosely bound states in high energy hadronic collisions. In this paper the production of (anti-)deuterons is studied as a function of the charged particle multiplicity in inelastic pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV using the ALICE experiment. Thanks to the large number of accumulated minimum bias events, it has been possible to measure (anti-)deuteron production in pp collisions up to the same charged particle multiplicity ( $d N_{c h} / d η \sim 26$ ) as measured in p-Pb collisions at similar centre-of-mass energies. Within the uncertainties, the deuteron yield in pp collisions resembles the one in p-Pb interactions, suggesting a common formation mechanism behind the production of light nuclei in hadronic interactions. In this context the measurements are compared with the expectations of coalescence and Statistical Hadronisation Models (SHM).

Anisotropic flow in Xe-Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.44$ TeV

The ALICE collaboration Acharya, S. ; Torales - Acosta, Fernando ; Adamova, Dagmar ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 784 (2018) 82-95, 2018.

Inspire Record 1671792 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.84283

The first measurements of anisotropic flow coefficients $v_{n}$ for mid-rapidity charged particles in Xe-Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.44$ TeV are presented. Comparing these measurements to those from Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.02$ TeV, $v_{2}$ is found to be suppressed for mid-central collisions at the same centrality, and enhanced for central collisions. The values of $v_{3}$ are generally larger in Xe-Xe than in Pb-Pb at a given centrality. These observations are consistent with expectations from hydrodynamic predictions. When both $v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$ are divided by their corresponding eccentricities for a variety of initial state models, they generally scale with transverse density when comparing Xe-Xe and Pb-Pb, with some deviations observed in central Xe-Xe and Pb-Pb collisions. These results assist in placing strong constraints on both the initial state geometry and medium response for relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

First measurement of jet mass in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at the LHC

The ALICE collaboration Acharya, S. ; Adamova, Dagmar ; Aggarwal, Madan Mohan ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 776 (2018) 249-264, 2018.

Inspire Record 1512107 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.80519

This letter presents the first measurement of jet mass in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}}$ = 2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV, respectively. Both the jet energy and the jet mass are expected to be sensitive to jet quenching in the hot Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) matter created in nuclear collisions at collider energies. Jets are reconstructed from charged particles using the anti- $k_{T}$ jet algorithm and resolution parameter $R = 0.4$ . The jets are measured in the pseudorapidity range $| η_{j e t} | < 0.5$ and in three intervals of transverse momentum between 60 GeV/ $c$ and 120 GeV/ $c$ . The measurement of the jet mass in central Pb-Pb collisions is compared to the jet mass as measured in p-Pb reference collisions, to vacuum event generators, and to models including jet quenching. It is observed that the jet mass in central Pb-Pb collisions is consistent within uncertainties with p-Pb reference measurements. Furthermore, the measured jet mass in Pb-Pb collisions is not reproduced by the quenching models considered in this letter and is found to be consistent with PYTHIA expectations within systematic uncertainties.

$ϕ$ meson production at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV

The ALICE collaboration Acharya, S. ; Torales - Acosta, Fernando ; Adamova, Dagmar ; et al.

Eur.Phys.J.C 78 (2018) 559, 2018.

Inspire Record 1669805 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.83778

$ϕ$ meson measurements provide insight into strangeness production, which is one of the key observables for the hot medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. ALICE measured $ϕ$ production through its decay in muon pairs in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV in the intermediate transverse momentum range $2 < p_{T} < 5$ GeV/ $c$ and in the rapidity interval $2.5 < y < 4$ . The $ϕ$ yield was measured as a function of the transverse momentum and collision centrality. The nuclear modification factor was obtained as a function of the average number of participating nucleons. Results were compared with the ones obtained via the kaon decay channel in the same $p_{T}$ range at midrapidity. The values of the nuclear modification factor in the two rapidity regions are in agreement within uncertainties.

First measurement of $Ξ_{c}^{0}$ production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV

The ALICE collaboration Acharya, S. ; Adamova, Dagmar ; Adolfsson, Jonatan ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 781 (2018) 8-19, 2018.

Inspire Record 1642729 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.83354

The production of the charm-strange baryon $Ξ_{c}^{0}$ is measured for the first time at the LHC via its semileptonic decay into e $^{+} Ξ^{-} ν_{e}$ in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV with the ALICE detector. The transverse momentum ( $p_{T}$ ) differential cross section multiplied by the branching ratio is presented in the interval 1 $<$ $p_{T}$ $<$ 8 GeV/ $c$ at mid-rapidity, $| y |$ $<$ 0.5. The transverse momentum dependence of the $Ξ_{c}^{0}$ baryon production relative to the D $^{0}$ meson production is compared to predictions of event generators with various tunes of the hadronisation mechanism, which are found to underestimate the measured cross-section ratio.

Measurement of the inclusive J/ $ψ$ polarization at forward rapidity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV

The ALICE collaboration Acharya, S. ; Torales - Acosta, Fernando ; Adamova, Dagmar ; et al.

Eur.Phys.J.C 78 (2018) 562, 2018.

Inspire Record 1672801 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.83784

We report on the measurement of the inclusive J/ $ψ$ polarization parameters in pp collisions at a center of mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.23 pb $^{- 1}$ . J/ $ψ$ resonances are reconstructed in their di-muon decay channel in the rapidity interval $2.5 < y < 4.0$ and over the transverse-momentum interval $2 < p_{T} < 15$ GeV/ $c$ . The three polarization parameters ( $λ_{θ}$ , $λ_{φ}$ , $λ_{θ φ}$ ) are measured as a function of $p_{T}$ both in the helicity and Collins-Soper reference frames. The measured J/ $ψ$ polarization parameters are found to be compatible with zero within uncertainties, contrary to expectations from all available predictions. The results are compared with the measurement in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV.

Anisotropic flow of identified particles in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV

The elliptic ( $v_{2}$ ), triangular ( $v_{3}$ ), and quadrangular ( $v_{4}$ ) flow coefficients of $π^{\pm}$ , $K^{\pm}$ , $p + \overset{―}{p}$ , $Λ + \overset{―}{Λ}$ , $K_{S}^{0}$ , and the $ϕ$ -meson are measured in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.02$ TeV. Results obtained with the scalar product method are reported for the rapidity range $| y | <$ 0.5 as a function of transverse momentum, $p_{T}$ , at different collision centrality intervals between 0-70%, including ultra-central (0-1%) collisions for $π^{\pm}$ , $K^{\pm}$ , and $p + \overset{―}{p}$ . For $p_{T} < 3$ GeV $/ c$ , the flow coefficients exhibit a particle mass dependence. At intermediate transverse momenta ( $3 < p_{T} <$ ~8-10 GeV $/ c$ ), particles show an approximate grouping according to their type (i.e., mesons and baryons). The $ϕ$ -meson $v_{2}$ , which tests both particle mass dependence and type scaling, follows $p + \overset{―}{p}$ $v_{2}$ at low $p_{T}$ and $π^{\pm}$ $v_{2}$ at intermediate $p_{T}$ . The evolution of the shape of $v_{n} (p_{T})$ as a function of centrality and harmonic number $n$ is studied for the various particle species. Flow coefficients of $π^{\pm}$ , $K^{\pm}$ , and $p + \overset{―}{p}$ for $p_{T} < 3$ GeV $/ c$ are compared to iEBE-VISHNU and MUSIC hydrodynamical calculations coupled to a hadronic cascade model (UrQMD). The iEBE-VISHNU calculations describe the results fairly well for $p_{T} < 2.5$ GeV $/ c$ , while MUSIC calculations reproduce the measurements for $p_{T} < 1$ GeV $/ c$ . A comparison to $v_{n}$ coefficients measured in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}}$ = 2.76 TeV is also provided.

Measurement of Z $^{0}$ -boson production at large rapidities in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.02$ TeV

The ALICE collaboration Acharya, S. ; Adamova, Dagmar ; Adolfsson, Jonatan ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 780 (2018) 372-383, 2018.

Inspire Record 1639439 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.82813

The production of Z $^{0}$ bosons at large rapidities in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.02$ TeV is reported. Z $^{0}$ candidates are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel ( $Z^{0} \to μ^{+} μ^{-}$ ), based on muons selected with pseudo-rapidity $- 4.0 < η < - 2.5$ and $p_{T} > 20$ GeV/ $c$ . The invariant yield and the nuclear modification factor, $R_{A A}$ , are presented as a function of rapidity and collision centrality. The value of $R_{A A}$ for the 0-20% central Pb-Pb collisions is $0.67 \pm 0.11 (stat.) \pm 0.03 (syst.) \pm 0.06 (corr. syst.)$ , exhibiting a deviation of $2.6 σ$ from unity. The results are well-described by calculations that include nuclear modifications of the parton distribution functions, while the predictions using vacuum PDFs deviate from data by $2.3 σ$ in the 0-90% centrality class and by $3 σ$ in the 0-20% central collisions.

Transverse momentum spectra and nuclear modification factors of charged particles in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC

The ALICE collaboration Acharya, S. ; Torales - Acosta, Fernando ; Adamova, Dagmar ; et al.

JHEP 11 (2018) 013, 2018.

Inspire Record 1657384 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.86210

We report the measured transverse momentum ( $p_{T}$ ) spectra of primary charged particles from pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.02$ TeV in the kinematic range of $0.15 < p_{T} < 50$ GeV/ $c$ and $| η | < 0.8$ . A significant improvement of systematic uncertainties motivated the reanalysis of data in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 2.76$ TeV, as well as in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.02$ TeV, which is also presented. Spectra from Pb-Pb collisions are presented in nine centrality intervals and are compared to a reference spectrum from pp collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. For central collisions, the $p_{T}$ spectra are suppressed by more than a factor of 7 around 6-7 GeV/ $c$ with a significant reduction in suppression towards higher momenta up to 30 GeV/ $c$ . The nuclear modification factor $R_{p P b}$ , constructed from the pp and p-Pb spectra measured at the same collision energy, is consistent with unity above 8 GeV/ $c$ . While the spectra in both pp and Pb-Pb collisions are substantially harder at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.02$ TeV compared to 2.76 TeV, the nuclear modification factors show no significant collision energy dependence. The obtained results should provide further constraints on the parton energy loss calculations to determine the transport properties of the hot and dense QCD matter.

Measurement of D $^{0}$ , D $^{+}$ , D $^{* +}$ and D $_{s}^{+}$ production in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV

The ALICE collaboration Acharya, S. ; Torales - Acosta, Fernando ; Adamova, Dagmar ; et al.

JHEP 10 (2018) 174, 2018.

Inspire Record 1669819 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.88168

We report measurements of the production of prompt D $^{0}$ , D $^{+}$ , D $^{* +}$ and D $_{s}^{+}$ mesons in Pb-Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.02$ TeV, in the centrality classes 0-10%, 30-50% and 60-80%. The D-meson production yields are measured at mid-rapidity ( $| y | < 0.5$ ) as a function of transverse momentum ( $p_{T}$ ). The $p_{T}$ intervals covered in central collisions are: $1 < p_{T} < 50$ Gev/ $c$ for D $^{0}$ , $2 < p_{T} < 50$ GeV/ $c$ for D $^{+}$ , $3 < p_{T} < 50$ GeV/ $c$ for D $^{* +}$ , and $4 < p_{T} < 16$ GeV/ $c$ for D $_{s}^{+}$ mesons. The nuclear modification factors ( $R_{A A}$ ) for non-strange D mesons (D $^{0}$ , D $^{+}$ , D $^{* +}$ ) show minimum values of about 0.2 for $p_{T}$ = 6-10 GeV/ $c$ in the most central collisions and are compatible within uncertainties with those measured at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 2.76$ TeV. For D $_{s}^{+}$ mesons, the values of $R_{A A}$ are larger than those of non-strange D mesons, but compatible within uncertainties. In central collisions the average $R_{A A}$ of non-strange D mesons is compatible with that of charged particles for $p_{T} > 8$ GeV/ $c$ , while it is larger at lower $p_{T}$ . The nuclear modification factors for strange and non-strange D mesons are also compared to theoretical models with different implementations of in-medium energy loss.
